I hate to say it but this is a self-study class. Vladimir's a nice guy and all, and you DO get used to his accent after a while, but to try and learn multivariable calculus from him is a lost cause. Do ALL the homework in advance, ask him questions about the problems you don't know how to do, do some extra credit here and there, and you'll be ok.

good guy. not so great of a teacher. he tries.. his English is not real well. does not explain thoroughly. if i did not have any proir knowledge of math, i would not have passed. a lot of extra credit! 3 mid terms, 1 final. pretty much, just show up, and you will pass.

I'm a good student, I go to class, pay attention and take notes. I really don't understand him. I rely on the book but now he is teaching something that is not in the book. Even the tutors didn't understand the notes from class because even to them it didn't make sense.

He is funny but he is absolutely the worst teacher I have ever had in my life. Just be ready to teach yourself because he won't do any of it. He just rambles on as he writes on the board, his accent makes it even more incomprehensible. We asked him to go over a problem again and he refused saying that it is too difficult for him to do!

He's a funny little guy. His lectures DO make sense. All his homework is done online, he doesn't give a lot of Extra credit. He wont tell you your grade at all during the quarter, until you see it on the computer. It's not an easy A, but it's not hard to pass.

I took his Math 11 class. He is a such a funny guy. He does have an accent, but it doesn't really matter.If u do all works that he assigns and go to class everyday, it won't be that hard to get an A on this class. He gives u a lot of extra credit and his final is really easy. He chose problems from 3 midterms that u take. Take this class!!!

Vlad was a cool teacher. He gives extra credit almost everyday! He doesn't really take attendance, but he does remember faces. A few quizzes, but he drops the lowest one. All midterms and final are multiple choice. A few group quizzes. Fun class. His accent is quite amusing also!

Vlad is great. His accent helps mask his very dry and slightly evil sense of humor. Homework is all online, and there's 2 days computer lab on top of regular lectures. He can be a bit intimidating, but if you can get past that you'll find he really is there to help those who want to succeed. All exams are on Scantrons + some full-problem quizzes.

accent takes some getting used to, so esl students stay away. you can't do well in his class if you don't study! throws out one test grade, two quiz grades, one lab grade, etc. grades very leniently on homework, however tests are a bit harder. quizzes are pretty easy if you study. gives extra credit to students for just showing up to class.

Worst class every, he does not know how to control his students. His accent is so hard to understand, and he doesn't go over problems. You gotta yell from him to see you, really if you're hand is up in the air he won't even notice. He loves to tell you the homework last minute and his teaching standards are confusing.

This was the one class I dreaded going to everyday. I would say I am a pretty good student that gets good grades, but this class was so hard for me. You can't understand him, and when you ask for help he flat out yells at you. If you signed up for this teacher, my best advice would be to get another one!

This is not a good teacher. Luckily, I was still able to pass this class with an A, but I had to fight for it. This teacher is very difficult to work with. The EnableMath software is terrible and I was unable to complete 3 quizzes because of it. But when I went to him for help, he refused. He said it was my problem and not his. Worst teacher ever.

Vladimir definitely has a big heart. He also has a great russian accent, but once you got over this he is a very good teacher. Actually, it was the only teacher that had a good approach to math so I've finally got something. Highly recommend this teacher if you're not a quitter.

DO NOT take him if you are horrible in math and/or have never taken EnableMath before. He doesn't explain any of the assignments, just puts random problems on the board and expects you to know them. Thankfully, Ms.Ison in Math 212 explained how to do all of this in my last class! If this wasn't EnableMath, I'd drop him in a heartbeat! WORST TEACHER

I took his class over the summer for HS credit and it wasn't bad. He doesn't really do one-on-one teaching very well, but I learned. If you have a question, he will try to answer it. Also, he won't hold you the entire time for lab work. I'd say he's decent. Don't take his class if you need to be walked through every problem.

He doesnt explain too much just one, two or three problems. Dont take his class if you are taking difficult classes, he require you to do all the homework in the book which takes a long time to finish. Not difficult at all but very challenging class. Sometimes you have to learn the problems by yourself.

Everything you do HW and quiz wise is through enableMath and it sucks. This is bad because the teacher doesn't explain much either. Sure you get some stuff if you show up, but it doesn't do anything when you were tested on the material three days ago. If you take him you will need to teach yourself everything without a book.

This isn't my first time taking Math 10 nor is he my first Math 10 teacher but given your selection at De Anza, I'd say go with him. He yells a lot but isn't too hard and... mostly clear. Gives extra credit too and make sure you have intelligent group mates. Without a doubt better than Illowsky, Soler, or most of the De Anza Math 10 teachers.

I took his MATH 114 in the summer of my Junior year in high school. It wasn't terribly bad. He does have an accent, but he also has a mild sense of humor which is uncommon with math teachers. He knows what he's teaching, and yeah, the EnableMath sometimes sucks, but I liked it better than dealing with a textbook.

the very first day of class you will not understand him. he is a super math man, he knows his stuff but his lectures are not in sync with the hw. the hw is online and extremely easy. his tests are nothing like the hw, but he does offer make up tests. as long as you take notes, do the homework, and study for the test you'll be fine.
